I’m just about to complete my 2nd year of bike commuting, 7 seasons anyway as the winter before last I carpooled.

Last winter I bought studded tires to try the winter commuting. My commute is 12 miles each way. I NEEDED the studs about twice but put about 300 miles on them. I don’t plan to ride in those conditions anymore as the studs on MY tires do nothing to help the SUV sliding through the intersection toward me.

Telecommuting part time is a better option for me that I’m thankful I can use when the weather is at extremes.

I’m in northern Indiana. I don’t like to ride much below 20°F or much above 90°F. But we have about 7-8 months of pretty decent cycling weather.

So long as I have the option and am physically able, I plan to cyclocommute indefinitely.
